My longtime friend E. B. Smith was fond of saying that he did not believe in coincidences or providence. However, he would say, “It seems that the more I pray the luckier I seem to get.” Thanks E. B. for a wonderful lesson in theology and prayer.
I've reached the age when my identity has to do with what Erik Erikson termed generativity. In order to avoid self-absorption, I want to be giving to others. I have done this by teaching Spiritual Formation as well as Pastoral Care and Counseling at the Baptist Seminary of Kentucky. I'm also a Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a Spiritually Informed Therapist and Co-Director of the Interfaith Counseling Center. My history is a moderate Baptist with a strong ecumenical and interfaith involvement and beliefs. I have a meaningful life with a good sense of health and happiness.
